Investigators said Wednesday that they would examine the sequence of events leading up to the shooting. Those events are described in statements from Officer Sergio Virgillo, a 14-year-veteran, described in court documents:
Chrisman and Virgillo, patrolling in separate vehicles, both responded to the call at 12:20 p.m. Virgillo said Fernandez asked them to go inside the trailer and talk to her son.
When the man refused to let officers in, Virgillo said, Chrisman responded by holding his service weapon to the man's temple and stating that he didn't need a warrant.
Virgillo said Chrisman re-holstered his weapon but that a scuffle ensued inside. The officers attempted to subdue Rodriquez with a Taser and with pepper spray.
Amid the struggle, Virgillo said, Chrisman shot a dog that was barking inside the trailer.
As the struggle continued, Rodriquez tried to leave the trailer on a bicycle and grappled with the officers over the handlebars.
As Rodriquez stood near the bike, Virgillo said, Chrisman raised his gun and fired.
Paramedics declared Rodriquez dead at the scene.
Chrisman, 36, was taken into custody at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
